Shared moments are the foundation of the Game Room, the second chapter of the Library Collection. Envisioned as a dialogue between play and design, the Game Room is for those who gather and connect.
Pebble Backgammon SET
A true reflection of Assouline’s dedication to quality and culture, the Backgammon Set presents a graceful twist on an enduring classic.
Pebble Playing Card Set
Wrapped in pebbled leather with a walnut rim and brushed brass pull, the Pebble Playing Card Set opens to reveal two decks in brown and stone. Each has gilded edges, court cards that nod to the Assouline family and a joker juggling books.
Library Tic-Tac-Toe
The Library Tic-Tac-Toe turns a familiar favorite into a collectible object. Crafted from walnut with a pebbled leather playing surface, it comes with brushed brass and wood pieces, the Os shaped as miniature books. A quiet bit of wit for any coffee table.
Pebble Domino Set
With clean lines and tactile details, the Pebble Domino Set turns a centuries-old game into an object of design. The pebbled leather box, trimmed in walnut and topped with Assouline’s signature pebble handle, opens to oversized leather dominoes framed in walnut, with recessed pips.
Empire Chess Set
The Empire Chess Set brings a contemporary perspective to one of history’s greatest games. Rich walnut, pebbled leather and brushed brass frame sculptural aluminum pieces, crowned by a queen inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. As compelling in play as it is at rest.

GAME ROOM FAQ
The Second Chapter of the Library Collection
For Assouline, the contemporary library has always been a sanctuary of beauty, culture and shared passions, a place where books and objects hold a conversation of their own. Game Room, the second chapter of the Library Collection, brings play into that conversation. Chess, backgammon, dominoes, cards and tic-tac-toe have gathered friends and families across centuries and cultures. Here, each is reimagined through Assouline’s point of view: made to be lived with, played often and kept in view long after the final round.
A Dialogue Between Play and Design
Each game carries a detail that could only come from Assouline. The pebble, a form inspired by the Assouline name itself, recurs throughout, from the Pebble sets to the signature handle that crowns the Pebble Domino Set. The Empire Chess Set presents a queen inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Inside the Pebble Playing Card Set, the court cards nod to the Assouline family and the joker juggles books, while the Library Tic-Tac-Toe shapes its Os as miniature volumes. These are games of wit and culture, revealed one round at a time.
Made by Hand, Made to Be Shared
Every piece is individually handmade by a skilled artisan, worked in the materials that define the Library Collection: custom pebbled leather, warm walnut, softly brushed brass and a polysuede base that protects the surface beneath. Conceived as heirlooms, they bring the art of gifting to the table, for the host, the collector and the player alike.
